Rebellious deconstruction – a tradition without memory
Art Sleaze thus conceptually draws on a long musical tradition to mix genres and deconstruct jazz music so that it opens up for new experiments. A tradition where the British guitarist Derek Bailey must also be mentioned, as his understanding of free improvisation as “playing without memory”, is an extreme expression of the constant search to break musical boundaries.
Art Sleaze is rebellious jazz that physically grabs the listener. It is curious music that in a balanced way plays with music genres, the sound is raw and dirty and everything is delivered as if it were a punk band in a rehearsal room.

Bold, provocative yet highly enjoyable in its uncompromising manner.
